25 Concept and Advantages Maintain anaerobic microenvironment Trojan Horse Concept Microvessels for addition of rateenhancing reactants, remediation cocktails (Quinn et al., 2005) Functionalize surface for enhanced suspension properties May facilitate long-term storage under ambient conditions Add control over reaction chemistry, kinetics Source: Encapsulation affords an added layer of engineering control over reaction chemistry and timing 25 Copyright Luna Innovations

26 Precedent: NASA EZVI (Quinn et al., 2005) Two components: ZVI for reductive dechlorination Veg oil for enhacement of microbes EZVI droplet: Oil-liquid membrane surrounding particles of ZVI in water. Unclear whether reactivity with TCE due to ZVI or microbial enhancement Injection methods can damage EZVI droplets (Source: Quinn et al, ES&T 2005) 26 26

28 Encapsulated Magnetite Nanoparticles Beta Testers, Product Development Partners Welcomed 28 Copyright Luna Innovations

29 Burning Questions Reactivity of encapsulated magnetite nanoparticles? Control/tunability of the capsule/particle composite? Preservation of particle reactivity in the capsule? Breakdown and particle release process? How much DNAPL does it take to get to the center of the ironfilled capsules? 29 Copyright Luna Innovations

30 Thoughts about Nanotech EHS Realize societal benefits of nanotechnology responsibly Unique reactivity Possible unintended effects Luna NanoSafe : Started in 2003 to address EHS concerns proactively Q2 2007: Begin third party ecotox testing of various nano iron species and composites Adapted From Mark Alper, DOE Molecular Foundary LBNL 30 Copyright Luna Innovations

31 Conclusions Magnetite prepared under strict anaerobic conditions can degrade CT without adding Fe II. On a mass basis, CT loss rates are enhanced in the presence of nanoparticulate magnetite. Chloroform yields are affected by both solution ph and ionic strength. Surface normalization of the reactivity of nanoparticle suspensions may be unwise. Encapsulation may offer additional engineering control over interaction of particles with remediation target. 31 Must determine EHS issues with nano iron Copyright Luna Innovations

NO SOURCE POST ACTION REMOVAL REMOVAL Mass emission is a function of the total DNAPL mass and architecture. Reducing the source mass (Δm) decreases mass emission and downgradient loading. Cost-effectiveness relies on effective placement of nanoiron

37 Treatment with Reactive Nanoparticles Effective Treatment Requires 1. Mobility 2. Target specificity 3. High reactivity and long lifetime 4. Minimal risk of nanoparticle migration to sensitive receptors (low concentration) 37 37

38 Optimizing Two Scenarios High concentration of Nanoparticles At injection site Need to maximize mobility to be able to deliver the materials Optimize remediation performance Low concentration of Nanoparticles After dilution in aquifer Need to minimize mobility to ensure that nanoparticles remain in place Minimize risks 38 38

68 Strategies for Controlled Placement of Nanoiron Geochemical conditions change from the injection well down gradient due to dilution. Potential geochemical changes that can afford targeting include: Ionic strength variation (from low to high) Velocity variation (from high to low) Partial saturation DNAPL saturation varies from saturated at a pool surface to just a few percent at the fringe. DNAPL architecture may afford targeting opportunities Hydrodynamic trapping Co-solvency effects Saturated DNAPL 68 68
